Debate Syria Essay

The U.N must attack in unity (hence the label) in order to respond to such outrage, otherwise it may become an impossible task without a leader. The rest of the U.N, especially France which has already decided to involve themselves, must have their superior and leading country to surgically strike Syria. I completely concur with the idea of being included in the issue with Syria, not only to help their people, but to protect the countries adjacent to Syria in which we have trading relations with. And besides, defending our relationship with foreign trade districts, we need to minimize Syrian government power from oppressive rule and casualty in warfare. France is taking initiative, so why aren’t we? As superior and leading country in the U.N we should be the first to send troops directly to Syria to charge. I understand the risk we take in this action, but anything that could affect our country should be worth fighting for in any circumstance. We need to begin/continue supplying military weapons as preparation and leverage to run up against the alleged use of chemical weaponry. We must also consider inducing extra protection for Syrian civilians after discovering the horrific and tragic mass killing by chemical weapons. These are innocent victims that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time; we mustn’t be selfish and let that go to keep ourselves out of a risky position. Although, Assad is denying the use of chemical weapons on civilians, we need to help the future victims that are being oppressed and exposed to horrific crimes against humanity. Syria is not the only country going to be affected by its’ unjust government rule, its’ neighboring countries without a doubt would be captivated if we do not act quickly. This could break any trading relationship we have with Syria’s surrounding countries which could affect our financial status and as nearly every other country has had...

...A Snapshot of SyriaSyria is located in Southeast Asia. It borders Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Lebanon. Damascus is the capital. Damascus is one of the oldest inhabited communities in the Middle East. It was established in the third period B.C. and was the center of handcraft goods. Syria occupies about 185,180 square kilometers (71,498 square miles). It’s industry includes petroleum, textiles, food processing, and farming. Syria’s climate is semi-arid but it differs between east and west. The terrain is largely desert with mountains found in the east. “South of the Coastal Mountain Range is a narrow corridor called the Homs Gap, which allows easy passage from the coast to Syria’s interior. The Homs Gap has been a pathway for traders and invading armies for centuries” (Yomtov 17). The country has long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Rainfall in the west varies between 29-39 inches each year and inland 4-10 inches. Most of the fertile land is near the coastline, making it a more agricultural part of Syria.
Syria supplies almost all of its own food needs due to its productive soil.
The agriculture includes wheat, barely, cotton, and lentils. Wheat is their main crop. The fertile soil has a big impact on their exported goods such as fruits, vegetables, and cotton fiber, cotton fiber being a very important product. Cotton is so vital to Syria that every year they have a...

...controverse topics we face in life in order to seek some correlation or truth about the world individuals experience. Psychology today was not the same as it was in the time of the early Greeks. Since the dawn of time philosophers and scholars have tirelessly aimed to decode the truths about the world around them. Ultimately, Philosophers were puzzled with the notion of relying on our senses for answers. They were captivated by a notion of deriving correct answers from what we see, feel, and experience in science. Each individual has a personal point of view on life, suggesting sensory experiences are extremely biased. Some critical thinkers oppose the idea of finding a ultimate “truth” while others welcome the notion with many “truths”, in this essay we will closely examine both sides of this argument.
In the early Greek era, a more traditional view of science was used. It begins with empirical observation, theory and and many tests after that to either refute it or support it. It assumes we may reach an ultimate truth, that leading studies may point to a definite answer. This traditional view is leaning towards determinism. Moving through the era, philosophers alike challenge this theory in an attempt to illustrate truth more realistically.
Philosophers like Karl Popper began to question the notion of a real “truth” in examining the biased outlook our senses gave us but still relied on them in science. He began to question every scientific discovery...

...Essay about the Conflict in Syria
Foreign Affairs
April 12th, 2012.
Syria, a Middle Eastern country, is located on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bounded by Turkey to the north, by Iraq to the east and southeast, by Jordan to the south, and by Lebanon and Israel to the southwest. Syria has an area of 185,180 square kilometers (71,500 square miles), including 1,295 square kilometers (500 square miles) of territory in the Golan Heights captured by Israel in the Six Day War of 1967. There are 2,253 kilometers (1,400 miles) of boundary length, with a coastline of 193 kilometers (120 miles). The area occupied by Syria is slightly larger than the state of North Dakota. The capital city, Damascus, is located on the Barada River in southwest Syria. Other major cities, Latakia and Aleppo, are situated on the Mediterranean coast in the west and in northern Syria, respectively.
The conflict originated in Syria influenced by the wave of popular uprisings that swept much of Africa and the Middle East
The unrest began in the southern city of Deraa in March when locals gathered to demand the release of 14 school children who were arrested and reportedly tortured after writing on a wall the well-known slogan of the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt: "The people want the downfall of the regime." The protesters also called for democracy and greater...

...On another hand, The Syrian civil war, also commonly known as the Syrian uprising, is an ongoing armed conflict in Syria between forces loyal to the Syrian Ba'ath Party government and those seeking to oust it. The conflict began on 15 March 2011, with popular demonstrations that grew nationwide by April 2011. These demonstrations were part of the wider Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab Spring. Protesters demanded the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has held the presidency in Syria since 1971, as well as the end to over four decades of Ba'ath Party rule. There is certainly cause for social unrest and mass protest in Syria: unemployment has increased in recent years, social conditions have deteriorated, particularly since the adoption in 2006 of sweeping economic reforms under IMF guidance. The later include austerity measures, a freeze on wages, the deregulation of the financial system, trade reform and privatization. Moreover, there are serious divisions within the government and the military. The populist policy framework of the Baath party has largely been eroded. A faction within the ruling political establishment has embraced the neoliberal agenda. In turn, the adoption of IMF “economic medicine” has served to enrich the ruling economic elite. Pro-US factions have also developed within the upper echelons of the Syrian military and intelligence. But the “pro-democracy” movement integrated...

...Tunisia, Yemen and Egypt. However, the uprising in Syria remains unresolved and has evolved into a bloody civil conflict, caused so much casualties which has left destruction, lawlessness, and fear across the country. A resolution to the conflict has yet to be found, and thus far the international community has been mired in its inability to decisively influence the situation in Syria. That being said, military intervention is what the U.S. has been thinking to solve the issue on Syria. Although this method has been used in the past to stop further conflicts, due to the unique circumstances involved with Syria (sectarianism, dense population, threat of an expansion of the conflict into a regional war, relative strength of the Syrian military). Personally I think it is just not the right thing to do.
One of the most pressing issues of the Syrian conflict is sectarianism; the division of the conflict between different religious and ethnic groups could transform it from a struggle against the Syrian regime into a struggle between the Syrian people. If there will be any military intervention and if they successfully overthrow the regime there will be a big chance of an expansion of the conflict into a regional war. There exists an acute anxiety amongst minorities about the predominately Sunni uprising, as these minorities fear discrimination or retribution if the regime collapses. The development of sectarian strife...

...Syrian Civil War Essay
The Syrian civil war is an armed conflict in Syria, which has began on 15
March 2011 with demonstrations and protests against Syrian president Bashar al-
Assad, which evolved into an armed rebellion. By now Syrian war cost more than
55,000 lives and many people are still dying in this war. It is important to focus on
ending of this war as soon as possible not only for good of Syria but also for the good
of whole world. My opinion is that the main problem why this war still continues is
because many countries are supporting their economy by sending new and new
weapons into Syria, and these weapons don’t end only in hands of Syrian army but
also in hands of rebels fighting against the government. I think that first think Syria
should focus on in these days is to secure its weapon sites, containing dangerous
chemical weapons also labeled as WMD’s (Weapons of Mass Destruction). These
weapons became the point of interest of rebels, which are trying to take them and use
not only against Syrian army, but also against any else country including the USA.
Stated in Adam Clark Estes’s paragraph from The Atlantic Wire, it is scary
enough to think of what the Assad regime could do with the several hundred tons of
chemical weapons and horrifying to think of what terrorists would do. I think that
president Assad should pay more...
